Waiting

These are the strips and the handle waiting to be glued up. Box Elder burl, chokecherry burl, cedar, walnut and maple make up the handle. I glue all the pieces in the handle to make a rectangle 2" x 6". Then I cut the shape out on the bandsaw, and then touch up it up with a drum sander.

About Me

I am a rod builder of Bamboo and Fiberglass. I love these materials as a medium for creating fly rods. Their slower action suit my casting stroke and my idea of how a fly should be placed on the water.
